The Matchups for USA and England

Alright now we know what the matchups are for both USA and England in the Round of 16…the win or go home rounds for those who don’t follow Football.

USA vs. Ghana

First up on Saturday team USA will face Ghana the match will start at 2:30 PM EDT and it will either be on ESPN, ESPN 2 or you can watch it on ESPN3.com.

The last time USA played Ghana was in the 2006 World Cup and Ghana won that matchup 2-1 so USA will be looking for redemption for certain. Ghana known as the Black Stars will give them all that they can handle but team USA has improved since 2006 a great deal and I think they have a fantastic chance to move on to the Quarters.

As for my Three Lions…this will be nervewracking…

Both the U.S. and England had One win (Today) and Two ties (1st and 2nd Games)- the U.S. finished top of the Group based on scoring more goals than England over their matches.

This is the first time since 1930 that the U.S. has done so well in the Cup and I as an England fan applaud them. Good on you lads.

To my Three Lions it’s time to get serious, no more stumbling around alright, it’s the round of 16, win or go home.

So…who do England and the U.S. play next?
